By Rahul Palchaudhuri, Ph.D., Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been clinically used for 58 years and offers life-saving therapies for a variety of malignant and non-malignant blood disorders. Currently 50,000 transplants are performed globally per year with 90% of these for the […]
Anti-OX1R-SAP (Cat. #BETA-007) eliminates mouse, rat, and guinea pig cells expressing the orexin 1 receptor. All other cells are left untouched. Anti-OX2R-SAP (Cat. #BETA-008) eliminates rat cells expressing the orexin 2 receptor (OX2R). All other cells are left untouched. These two immunotoxins are being offered as part of our Beta Testing program. They have not
